What a super yummy, easy to make, apple cake. It’s loaded with great fall flavors including tons of apple flavor since I’m adding fresh chopped apples, applesauce, and apple juice to the cake mix. The skinny for each slice, including glaze, 200 calories and 5 grams of fat.
Ingredients
Ingredients for Cake:
- Cooking spray (with flour in it) see shopping tips below
- 1 (16.5 oz.) box Duncan Hines Yellow Cake Mix
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup unsweetened apple juice
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, I like Eggland’s Best eggs
- 1 cup apples, peeled and diced
Ingredients for Caramel Glaze:
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar or powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened apple juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- Fall colored sprinkles for decoration, if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a Bundt pan with cooking spray with flour in it, see shopping tip below.
- In an electric mixer or using a hand mixer, combine all the cake ingredients except the eggs and apples. Beat well.
- Add eggs and beat well again. Stir in diced apples.
- Pour the cake batter evenly into the coated Bundt pan.
- Bake for 60-65 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for about 10 minutes and then carefully remove from pan. Let cake cool a bit before adding glaze.
- To make caramel glaze: In a small bowl, add all glaze ingredients. Mix together until completely smooth. Add a teaspoon or 2 of water, if necessary to make it smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake.
- Decorate with fall colored sprinkles, if desired.
Notes
Makes 16 slices (each serving, 1 slice)
Healthy Tips
Whenever a recipe calls for using whole eggs, Egg-Land’s Best eggs are my favorite to use. They have less saturated fat, less cholesterol, more Vitamin D, more Vitamin E and double the Omega 3 than regular eggs. They’re sold in most supermarkets.
Shopping Tips
I love using cooking spray, with flour in it. It ensures that the baked cake will not stick to the pan and break. Cooking spray with flour can be found in the aisle where cooking oils are displayed. Skinny Facts: for 1 slice without glaze

Do you have an idea the blue points per serving if using sugar free cake mix?
Also I may have over looked it but how many serving to a cake please?
Thanks
Roberta
Sorry, Roberta but I don’t know how many blue points this would have if made with a sugar-free cake mix.
This cake makes 16 slices (each serving, 1 slice)
My best,
Nancy
